Cushman & Wakefield is moving its Edinburgh office after exercising a five-year lease break. The property agent is leaving 10 George Street to go to 66 Hanover Street and will be leasing out its former premises.

Stuart Moncur, of Cushman & Wakefield, said: "We are doing what we are advising our clients to do, taking advantage of a lease break to ensure that we get the best value for money from our investment in property, which is simply good financial housekeeping.

"While the current market has meant that we have not been able to expand as rapidly as we would like, we are now in a much stronger position to develop our business in the capital and Hanover Street is the ideal location for us."
